Ms. Lafrance may well be thinking of the myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun until the beeswax on his wings melted. Her program describes dancers “progressing in euphoria and exhaustion as if approaching the sun, melting until their souls escape their ephemeral bodies and disintegrate into light.” But her imagery only seldom suggests flight. So it’s possible also to think of Aeschylus’ Prometheus, bound in punishment to his rock, or Wagner’s dying Tristan, protesting about the sun (and this world) and consumed by yearning for the night of death.
In “Melt” the women tip from side to side, stretch and weave their limbs, and bend forward, down or stretch up. Though they don’t move in unison, they generally change tempo together (as in Merce Cunningham choreography, this gives the impression of a flock of birds all reacting together to the same noise or change of breeze). But now and then one or more individuals undercut the group with a different trend.
U.S. Fund to Rebuild Afghanistan Is Criticized
By MATTHEW ROSENBERG
The Afghanistan
Infrastructure Project was intended to bring soldiers and civilians
together to buttress the counterinsurgency strategy, but delays could
end up undercutting it, according to a new report.
In the former industrial town of Rochdale, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was confronted Wednesday by a woman named Gillian Duffy about foreign workers coming into England, among other beefs. Moments later, thinking he was safely out of earshot, Mr. Brown was caught on microphone blasting his aides for exposing him to 'a bigoted woman.' The audio feed went out across the airwaves, the 'mortified' prime minister abjectly apologized, describing himself as 'a penitent sinner,' and the media went wild.
But as for me, my limbs are rent
Because I clasped the clouds as mine.
